Given the existence of kbin and potentially others, we shouldn't be named something specific to lemmy.

We are obviously all feds

“The feds” don’t have the best connotation…

Also in practice the sentences come out a bit unclear to me. “The fed that posted this clearly knew their stuff.” “Some feds just like to stir things up.”

Edit: that said, I think that’s a really good point about the need for a platform neutral term.
